Describe Dalton’s atomic theory.

Chemistry
1 answer:
ser-zykov [4K]3 years ago
6 0

Answer:

Dalton's atomic theory was the first complete attempt to describe all matter in terms of atoms and their properties.

Dalton based his theory on the law of conservation of mass and the law of constant composition.

The first part of his theory states that all matter is made of atoms, which are indivisible.

The second part of the theory says all atoms of a given element are identical in mass and properties.

The third part says compounds are combinations of two or more different types of atoms.

The fourth part of the theory states that a chemical reaction is a rearrangement of atoms.

Parts of the theory had to be modified based on the existence of subatomic particles and isotopes

A roller coasters velocity at the top of a hill is 21mls. Two seconds later it reaches the bottom of the hill with a velocity of
hodyreva [135]

Answer:

7.5 m/s²

Explanation:

The following data were obtained from the question:

Initial velocity (u) = 21 m/s

Final velocity (v) = 36 m/s

Time (t) = 2 secs

Acceleration (a) =..?

The acceleration of an object is simply defined as the rate of change of velocity of the object with time. Mathematically, it is represented as:

Acceleration (a) = (final velocity (v) – initial velocity (u)) / time (t)

a = (v – u)/t

With the above formula, we can determine the acceleration of the roller coaster as follow:

a = (v – u)/t

a = (36 – 21)/2

a = 15/2

a = 7.5 m/s²

Therefore, the acceleration of the roller coaster is 7.5 m/s².

In one experiment, the reaction of 1.00 mercury and an excess of sulfur yielded 1.16g of a sulfide of mercury
Nuetrik [128]

<u>Answer and Explanation:</u>

Mercury combines with sulfur as follows -

Hg + S = HgS

Hg = 200,59

S = 32,066 Therefore 1.58 g of Hg will react with -

1.58 multiply with 32,066 divide by 200,96 of sulfur.

= 0.25211 g S

This will form 1.58 + 0.25211 g HgS  = 1.83211 g HgS

The amount of S remaining = 1.10 - 0.25211  = 0.84789 g

Why was the theory of the atom so controversial back in the early 1900’s
Anastaziya [24]
Some people weren't convinced with the theory. Also many people tried to prove that the atom didn't exist, or at least prove the theory wrong.

Student follow up
sleet_krkn [62]

Answer:

Magnesium and calcium belong to the second group i. e. alkaline earth metals. They are known as earth metals because they are extracted from the earth. They are very reactive elements. Their reactivity increases when we go from top to bottom because the outermost electrons goes farther from the nucleus i. e. atomic radius increases so less energy is needed for its removal.
